[dpdk-ci] [PATCH 1/2] create_new_execution_file_from_tags: add test specifier

[ohilyard@iol.unh.edu]

From: Owen Hilyard <ohilyard@iol.unh.edu>

BREAKING CHANGE: --tags syntax changed

Due to limitations of the argparse library, the tags syntax needed
to be redone when the ability to specify individual tests was added.
As such, the syntax has gone from "--tags core documentation" to "--tag
core --tag documentation". This is because argparse does not allow
multiple greedy variadic arguments in all versions.

added syntax to force adding a specific test

syntax: "--test nic_single_core_perf --test hello_world"

This flag was added to help facilitate periodic testing. The list of
tests in the template file will be ignored by this argument. This allows
a more automated way to run tests which should not be run under normal
circumstances, such as rte_flow, which is lightly supported in many
NICs.
